Gruyere, Parmesan, Apples, Raspberries, Caramelized Onions..this Pizza is fruity, cheesy, and absolutely divine, topped off with a thick balsamic glaze!
It was gorgeous outside yesterday, which was a nice change from the freezing rain we’ve had since last Saturday. It was warm, sunny and the leaves were everywhere. I took full advantage and took my kids outside for a little Fall photo shoot. I’m always taking pictures of my kids..all day long, but it’s always with my iPhone, (seriously, I have to dump my photos once a week on the computer just to make room on my phone..yah, i take about 3473 of the same thing..it’s hard to get a great shot with kids, so you just keep on going and hope one turned out perfect!)
So yesterday I thought Id take some nicer pictures, that aren’t with my phone, and pray that one turns out good. WELL, let’s just say it started out with two kids screaming…of course, and climbing all over me refusing to do anything but cry. So I figured I’d try again today. Then, my little 10 month old, just got up and walked away and that was all it took for my almost 2 1/2 year old (oh dear God. So fast!) They took off in the leaves and started playing..yay!
BUT do you think that I got one decent picture of the two of them together. That would be a negative, Captain. I’m not even sure I have a photo with them both fully in the frame…as much as they love moments of playing together, they also really love exploring and playing on their own. And that’s what happened yesterday. You know, I don’t have more than 1-2 photos of them together smiling. And the ones I do have, my youngest is an itty bitty newborn. I’ll just have to keep at it. At least I got some great photos that are totally worth blowing up and framing!
Let’s talk Pizza! This particular pizza is one of a kind, and it might sound crazy, but all the flavors together, totally work! We’ve got tart, juicy raspberries, sweet apple slices, caramelized onions, nutty Gruyere, salty Parmesan, and to top of it all off a drizzle of thick, rich balsamic drizzle. This pizza is kind of perfect in it’s own little way. I loved every bite of it..there were so many flavors my palate was lighting up like the fourth of July. But totally in a good way!
I looooooooove pizza.
